ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 20d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/05/08 03:11 AM Share Posted 09/05/08 03:11 AM Was driving back from a client yesterday when I get that awful grinding noise from my brakes. Looks like I have already done a set of pads. I would have expected them to last more than 27,000km. I have ordered a new set of Endless pads as they are $200 cheaper and much better pad than the sotck Brembo ones.I am going to fit them tomorrow with a disk machine as the rotors have a huge lip on them.Cost of the pads were $345 delivered from Racebrakes Sydney Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45331-short-lived-brembo-stock-pads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 8d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 09/05/08 06:59 AM Share Posted 09/05/08 06:59 AM That's pretty standard for Brembo pads. Price a set through Ford spares just for laughs. You'll be amazed at the price!
